Harmonic has announced that Cignal TV has expanded its partnership with Harmonic with the objective of modernizing channel origination, playout and disaster recovery workflows. Running on the public cloud, Harmonic’s VOS360 Media SaaS looks forward to enabling Cignal TV to deliver premium video streaming and broadcast services to subscribers with better efficiency and reliability, as it has claimed in a statement.

“Harmonic’s approach to cloud-native media processing is a key strategy guiding the modernization of our video streaming and broadcast workflows”, explained Caesar Villadiego, head of media and telecoms engineering at Cignal TV. “Harmonic’s VOS360 Media SaaS harnesses the power of the cloud to unlock greater flexibility, agility and scalability — enabling us to launch streaming services in hours instead of days”.

Harmonic’s VOS360 Media combines media processing functions in a single cloud-native platform, to try to streamline Cignal TV’s video operations while reducing infrastructure costs. The end-to-end video platform supports the delivery of linear TV channels and broadcast services, with capabilities for live distribution.

The solution enables the pay-TV provider to remotely switch local playout operations to the cloud for disaster recovery. Leveraging SRT connection, the VOS360 platform delivers channels from the cloud to Cignal TV’s compression headend or disaster recovery site without service disruption.

“Our collaboration with Cignal TV underscores Harmonic’s commitment to empowering media service providers with agile, cloud-native solutions for video streaming and broadcast delivery”, added Tony Berthaud, vice president of sales, APAC, at Harmonic. “By embracing our VOS360 platform, Cignal TV is bringing its vision for scalable, flexible and secure video operations to life — with the speed, reliability and efficiency that the cloud offers”.

Harmonic’s solution was deployed in collaboration with local partner Composite Technology. The company will demonstrate VOS360 Media SaaS at BroadcastAsia, May 27-29 in Singapore, in stand 5I2-1
